Same report soon before sent to internal-l. Thank you all for your concerns. At least I'm safe and well.
One additional note to the below: Carkuni, last year ombudsman is fine too (confirmed by myself via skype)

Thank you for your all thought on us, I'm glad not to add something bad in my update at this moment.

Hi there,
thank you for your care on us in Wikimedians in Japan. I'm okay and trying to confirm if each member of WiKansai is safe and okay at this moment.
All members of Wikimedians in Kansai are fine. I have interacted with each of them by email, skype or IRC. Miya, active Wikimedians in this region is fine too. Her husband is not in Japan so hopefully not affected. Takot "perennial Wikimaniac" is fine too: he said he didn't notice the quake at all and it shocked his colleague :D
Many active Wikimedians in Tokyo are in contact but not all. I'd love to hear from Tomos and Ks aka 98 but understand they have their own priorities. I just hope safety upon them. User:Bellcricket, a CU of JAWP living in Akita, Tohoku is fine. We are still trying to know if each Wikimedian we've happened to know is fine.
The disaster would be the one of most serious we've ever suffered and I expect it takes days or even over a week to learn what happened and not: my experiences at Kobe Great Earthquake, 1995 tells so.
So please be of patience, we appreciate your friendly attention and work hard to get things done.
Cheers,
